If the OP didn't provide enough fabric, I would either have let her know and ask if she wanted a narrower border or if she was able to send me more, or if she had some other solution in mind. The only time I think I would piece a border like that is if it was a memory quilt made from a person's cherished clothes, and that was the only way it could be done. I could see having to piece odd shapes in that case. Like 'OK, I can get 43 good inches from this dress, but I need 54. If I cut bits from the sleeves, I think I can make it.'
